Walther to the state Public Service Commission as nuil and void. The Senate appointed Walther to the position last Feb. 9, contending that Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller had not filled a vacancy on the commission within 20 days after vacancy existed. The court upheld the rounly court in a 5-2 decision, with Justices John Fogleman a Conley Byrd dissenting.

The vacancy was created Jan. 14, 1967, when the term of Dan Stephens expired. Stephens had been appointed by former Gov. Orval Faubus to fill the unex- pired term of John R.

Downie has served since then. Thomasson now heads the Employment Security Division. I The majority opinion, written by Justice Paul Ward, said it found no merit in Walther's argument that Act 417 of 1947, which sets rules on appoint ments, applied only to honorary boards.

Both Byrd and Fogleman wrote minority opinions. Byrd said the majority's construction of the act "does violence to both plain language of the act and the underlying practical reasons for its passage." Byrd said that under the court's decision, the governor could nullify the Senate's right of confirmation of many appointees by simply waiting until after the expiration of the CO- day regular session before making his appointments.

Fowler Makes New Pitch For Tax Surcharge WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson's administration told Congress today his 10 per cent income tax surcharge is urgently needed--even though federal spending has been cut to reduce the prospective deficit below this year's level. Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler urged prompt action by the House Ways and Means Committee whose leaders have indicated they are not satisfied with a budget for the year beginning next July 1 forecasting $10.4 billion more spending than during the current fiscal year.

Fowler argued the increase is for defense and uncontrollable expenditures. Moreover, he said, the normal Increase in tax receipts as the economy grows more than covers the higher outlays so that "even if no changes were to be made in existing income and excise tax rates, the budget deficit would thus be lower in fiscal year 1969 than in fiscal year 1968." But Fowler told the taxwriting committee the deficit would not be reduced "to a point consistent with the stability and security of the United States economy' 1 without a tax increase.

Post Office To Crack Down On Phony 'Directories' Postal authorities say promoters of on business directories will find 1968 an even "rougher" year than 1967.

Sicilians Refuse To Leave Camps PALERMO, Sicily (AP) -Despite bitter cold and recurrent rains, many of the survivors from western Sicily's earthquakes a week ago refused to leave their muddy tent camps today for shelter in cities on the edge of the disaster zone. The holdouts refused to go into buildings for fear of a new disaster, after shocks continued to rock the region from time to time. Peasants told officials they were afraid if they left they would never see their fields an home sites again. Some said they had to look after their sheep and goats that survived the quake. Of more than 40,000 homeless, only several thousand consented to move into schools, hotels, government buildings and army barracks in Palermo, Trapani Marsala and other communities.

This would free about $11 billion to meet foreign claims against the dollar, thus supporting U.S. currency in the international markets.

The Ways and Means Committee begins hearings Feb. 5 on other administration proposals for improving the U.S. balance-of-payments situation. Administration sources reported over the weekend that Johnson's upcoming budget will offer less of a stimulant to the economy than the President's two previous budgets. These sources said the budget will show a billion deficit on a national income account basis --the bookkeeping system that economists consider the best guide to the impact of federal spending on the economy.

If the income account runs a deficit the government is priming the economy. That deficit is expected to reach $10.5 billion during the current fiscal year ending June 30.
